They Predicted My Movements!

There's something in there..." Victor's eyes widened as he voiced in trepidation.

Lady Li and the guard turned slightly to look behind them but it was already gone.

It had submerged itself back in the darkened puddle just as swiftly as it came.

"I swear there was a head just now," Victor voiced frantically, trying to convince them that he wasn't seeing things.

The guard gritted his teeth. "Let's move faster."

Lady Li Yang nodded in agreement. "The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it becomes."

They continued their way forward, carefully jumping from one branch to another but the eerie silence only made their surroundings feel more hostile.

Victor had a bad feeling they were being watched but nevertheless, they continued onward.

...

...

Victor, Lady Li Yang, and the guard had been jumping from branch to branch for the better part of thirty minutes, making steady progress across the Devil Forest's submerged path.
